PATENT JOHN W. O. WEBB, OF VILNTON, IOWA.

IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,418, dated January 2,1872. I

To all whom 'it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN W. O.' WEEE, of Vinton, in the county of Benton and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Heating and Cooking' Stoves, n

of which the following is a specification:

` In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved stove, a portion of one side ofthe hot air-chamber being removed to show the interior pipes. Fig. 2 represents a partial bottom view, showing the perforations cl which communicate with the heating-chamber A, and theslides Vfor regulating the admission of air tosaid chamber 5 and Fig. 3 represents a detached vertical section of my improved heating-drum.

My invention relates to stoves which may be adapted for either cooking or heating purposes; andmy improvement consists in the combination,with a stove having openair heating-tubes, of a heatingdrum, having an open chamber at the bottom thereof, into fwhich the hot air from the heating-tubes passes, and striking the bottom of said drum is deflected and diffused into the room, while the heat direct from the lirechamber passes into, through, and out of the drum by means of a double branched valved In the drawing, the fire-chamber of the stove is extended back so as to form a heating-chamber, A, through which passes a series of vertical tubes, B, open at the top and bottom plates of the stove, so that the heat from the rechamber, in passing off, heats the -tubes B and the air passing through them. Fromthe top of the stove hot air is constantly passing out of the tubes B, and as the drum H does not t upon the hot air-pipes B, but has an open chamber, H2, between its bottom and the top of the stove,

' the hot air issuing from the tubesBwill strike the bottom of the drum H and be forced ont at the sides of the drum into the room, as shown in Fig. l ofthe drawing. This drum is provided with series of horizontal tubes, l, open at the sides of the drum, and is connected to the stove-pipe I by means of two branches, i

and j, between which, in the stove-pipe I, is arranged a valve, l, so that when the latter is closed the products of combustion ascending from the chamber A must enter the drum near its bottom through the branch j land pass out through the branch i; but if the Valve'l be opened the products of combustion are' carried up through the stove-pipe I without passing through the drum. In this way the heat of the drum can be -regulated at pleasure.

When the stove is used for heating purposes only, the openings for pots in the top plate may be covered by an ornamental cover.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. Incom bination with a stove having' open hot air-tubes B, arranged as described, I claim the open chamber H2 at the bottom ofthe heating drum H for distributing the heated air from the tubes B into the room, as described and shown in Fig. lof the drawing.

2. In combination with a stove having open hot air-tubes B and an open heating-chamber, H2, the heating-drum H, having horizontal pipes and partitions, and the stove-pipe I, provided with lateral` branches t' j and a valve l, al1 the parts being combined and arranged for use, as described.
